Coordination and activation of nitrous oxide by iron zeolites
Iron-containing zeolites are heterogeneous catalysts that exhibit remarkable activity in the selective oxidation of inert hydrocarbons and catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide (N 2 O). The reduction of N 2 O is critical to both these functions, but experimental data tracking the iron active site...

| Shrnutí: | Iron-containing zeolites are heterogeneous catalysts that exhibit remarkable activity in the selective oxidation of inert hydrocarbons and catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide (N
2
O). The reduction of N
2
O is critical to both these functions, but experimental data tracking the iron active sites during N
2
O binding and activation are limited. Here, the N
2
O-ligated Fe(
ii
) active site in iron-exchanged zeolite beta is isolated and characterized by variable-temperature Mössbauer, diffuse reflectance UV-vis-NIR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. N
2
O binds through the terminal nitrogen atom with substantial backbonding from the Fe(
ii
) centre at low temperature. At higher temperatures, the Fe–N
2
O interaction is weakened, facilitating isomerization to the O-bound form, which is competent in O-atom transfer. Density functional theory calculations show the geometric and electronic structure requirements for N
2
O binding and activation. A geometric distortion imposed by the zeolite lattice plays an important role in activating N
2
O. This highlights a mechanism for structural control over function in Fe-zeolite catalysts.
Nitrous-oxide-mediated oxidation reactions can be effectively promoted by iron-containing zeolites, although structural information on the interaction between oxidant and metal centre is limited. Here, the authors report the characterization of the N
2
O-ligated Fe(
ii
) active site in iron-exchanged zeolite beta. |
